RockYou Will Launch CloudForest Expedition This Summer

Social gaming company RockYou announced today that it has signed another publishing agreement with John Romero's Loot Drop for a second title. The first title from the developer, CloudForest Expedition, will be published by RockYou as well, per a previously signed publishing agreement. CloudForest Expedition is planned for launch this summer on Facebook.

"We've been collaborating closely with Loot Drop, and their progress on Cloudforest Expedition is blowing us away," said Jonathan Knight, SVP of Games at RockYou. "Loot Drop is a natural fit with our design-driven studio culture and with our commitment to developing and publishing the best social games in the world. With Romero, Brenda Brathwaite, and a full roster of veteran developers, their team continues to exceed expectations. We're honored to be working with them and look forward to adding two Loot Drop titles to the RockYou portfolio!"

"Since we signed our initial deal in January, RockYou has been an awesome partner. They support our creative freedom as we bring innovation to the story-driven adventure genre with Cloudforest Expedition," said John Romero. "Extending the relationship with a second game makes sense, and we're excited to reveal more details of our projects."

Loot Drop benefits from the talents of a few classic gaming luminaries. John Romero was formerly with id Software, having designed Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake, and Brenda Brathwaite is best known for working on the classic series Wizardry.
